Another Gruelling Challenge for Ally K
The motion
That the Parliament commends Ally MacPherson from Skye, who is known as "Ally K", on embarking on another gruelling challenge, which will see him attempt to run the 180-mile distance between Glasgow and Inverness in just 70 hours to raise money for Highland Hospice; understands that this will be Ally's fourth endurance challenge; congratulates him on his tremendous efforts so far, which have raised £78,000 for various good causes; notes that these have seen him raise money for Cancer Research UK, by becoming the first man on record to run the 125-mile distance around Skye in 35 hours, running from Skye to Inverness non-stop, in aid of Maggie's Highlands, and navigating 10 islands on the west coast in two days, to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support, and wishes Ally the very best of luck with this latest challenge.
